I haven't read shadowpro's thread yet, I've just glanced over it. I will say that ALLEX is being incredibly closed minded. Obviously everything in life is done for a reason, and this shadow pro isn't posting on Tnation for funsies, he is obviously being paid. Having a pro thread will generate traffic for sure, so it doesn't matter if he directly vs indirectly supports biotest, his actions are supporting biotest as long as they have banners on their site, and an icon that says Store.
I did however read the Undercover pro's thread @ Blackstone and I do believe that he was a pro, he knew far too much personal information and more importantly he had stories about other pros. If the devil is in the details then I wouldn't look at any "forum Pro's" cycle, I'd look at the content of his posts and I'd find a personal agenda (ideally outside of being paid) and decide whether or not I was reading fiction. UCP seemed as if he really wanted to throw some people under the bus and attack DJ especially, that sort of content is validation in my humble opinion.
THat being said any muppet can say: "This is an olympian cycle". Regardless I'm all for olympian cycles that recommend moderate pro dosages, maybe some of these kids will gravitate towards that then follow morons like that Boston Lloyd kid that damn near lost an arm and advocates 10g of gear pre contest.
As a caveat to the above, I would say that I don't like the fact that shadow pro didn't specifically break up the compounds because it sort of looks like a shit load of orals being taken at once.
Alex is right.
Happend with gh15, happend with undercoverpro... this is the next one
Ok, now you agree it's a marketing thing, huh?
This info is put together by one of those steroid gurus, who read a few Duchaine articles and like to use big words to describe simple things.
This is the same exact thing as Undercover Pro, a publicity stunt put together to sell encapsulated talc powder in shiny bottles and increase value to a website.
Clearly you didn't read any of the undercover pro's posts. Not once did he promote any product. He openly admitted he never used any Blackstone Labs products despite posting on their web site.
how many pros have to explain their cycles before people finally realize they arent taking magic drugs or insane quantities?
yes and no forget legit kigtropina to make you tier 1 pro
Except undercover pro was actually a pro, unlike gh15.
I've always believed that pro's use a lot more orals than average. And honestly this is the first year I've ever touched an oral and I can understand why. To me an oral has some clear advantages over injects.
Mike,Exactly...and at least the shit BSL ws selling were REAL steroids that actually worked like real steroids!
Mike,
I think you missed Allex's post where he said the intention could also be to drive traffic to the site. I had never heard of BSL but after hearing about Undercover Pro I was on that thread everyday. I'd be willing to bet that BSL had at least 20x the viewers after he started posting (whether he was a real pro or not I have no idea, but he seemed legitimate).
Next they brought in Mike Liberatore. As far as I remember he hadn't used BSL's products either. Anyone who knows anything about online marketing knows that if you can multiply the traffic to your site you will increase your revenue. UCP didn't have to say a word about using the products, by generating a ton more traffic I can promise you BSL sold more of their stuff.
It seems a bit "questionable" that this Shadow Pro randomly woke up one morning and decided he wanted to anonymously talk about steroid use and then decided to contact T-Nation. If you read the first article they claim that's what happened, and that they were "hesitant" about the idea. Must be convenient to have pros contact you wanting to post on your forum anonymously while discussing the very supplements your board sells.
Well, it's quite obvious that I was exaggerating with the talc powder comment. Didn't really expect anyone to interpret it this way. I guess some figures of speech sometimes don't work too well.
We should all learn how to read between lines when we see these pros posting regurgitated info on forums.
I mean, what if this guy posts here as Undercover Amateur, will he get any attention?

I heard that he used the site inject the tears of unbaptized babies to get his size and vascularity
For example, it wouldnt be far fetched to see one of these assholes post up that pros take their orals using an enema now, to increase the anabolic effect.
